Product details
Diurex Herbicide | Diuron 80% WP
A residual soil herbicide for susceptible annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, used before or shortly after
weed emergence according to the crop directions.
Weed-control role: Residual activity against susceptible germinating weeds, helping
reduce early competition with the crop.
When to apply: Pre-emergence or early post-emergence, according to the
crop-specific directions.
Moisture matters: Rain or irrigation is necessary to activate the herbicide; do not
substitute a guessed irrigation amount.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌱 Acts on germinating weeds: Works mainly
through the soil and roots of susceptible weeds, rather than relying only on contact with emerged leaves.
-
🌿 Grass and broadleaf coverage: Provides
control options for a range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in its listed crops.
-
🛡️ Residual soil activity: Helps manage
susceptible weeds as they germinate after the permitted treatment.
-
🗓️ Early-season application options: Pre-emergence or early post-emergence use allows treatment at the crop-specific early weed stage, not only after a dense weed stand
develops.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Moisture activates the treatment: Rain or irrigation makes the soil-applied herbicide available to susceptible germinating
weeds.
-
Roots take up the active ingredient: Diurex acts primarily through absorption by the roots of germinating weeds.
-
Photosynthesis is interrupted: Diuron inhibits photosystem II, disrupting the weed’s ability to use light energy for normal
growth.
Residual activity is not a promise of season-long control or reliable control of established perennial weeds.
Combine treatment with field monitoring and other label-permitted weed-management measures; changing the brand alone does not change
the mode of action.
Target Crops & Weeds

Examples of target weeds |
|---|---|

| Citrus: sweet orange |
Cyperus iria; Digera arvensis |
| Sugarcane |
Portulaca oleracea; Echinochloa crus-galli |
These are selected crop-specific examples, not permission to treat every weed in these crops. Match the weed,
crop stage, soil conditions and spray placement to the supplied Indian Diurex label. Do not extend these uses to maize or grapes
without the corresponding product directions.
Dosage & Application Guide
Match soil treatment and water to the crop
Use the crop-directed pre-emergence or early post-emergence treatment. For the listed crop uses, area-water
guidance is 625 L/ha, approximately 252.93 L/acre, for cotton, banana and rubber; and 600 L/ha, approximately 242.81 L/acre, for sweet
orange and sugarcane. These are dilution-water quantities, not irrigation depths or product concentrations.
Before applying, obtain the matching product quantity, exact placement, equipment, soil and crop-stage
restrictions, activation instructions and harvest interval. Do not calculate a tank recipe from these water volumes or use one blanket
product rate for all crops. A missing interval is not a zero-day interval. A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final
treatment to harvest. Harvest restrictions, worker re-entry periods and repeat-treatment intervals are separate
requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the weed and crop stage: Check that the particular crop and weed are included on the supplied label. Distinguish
germinating annual weeds from established perennial growth.
-
Plan activation: Rain or irrigation is necessary for activity. Follow the crop’s moisture and irrigation directions without
inventing an incorporation depth or watering interval.
-
Protect desirable plants: Use the specified placement and equipment. Prevent drift, runoff and movement of treated soil onto
neighbouring crops or other desirable plants.
-
Keep the formulation and method matched: Use the directions for diuron 80% WP, not a different-strength liquid or granule. Do not
substitute a drone, seed, irrigation or other application method without exact directions.
-
Record and check restrictions: Record the crop, field, area, product and date. Observe crop-rotation, replanting, repeat-use,
re-entry and harvest restrictions separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why does Diurex need moisture?
Rain or irrigation activates the herbicide in the soil so susceptible germinating weeds can take it up
through their roots. The quantity and management of that water must follow the crop directions.
2. Does Diurex work only on emerged leaves?
No. It acts primarily as a soil herbicide through the roots of germinating weeds, with pre-emergence or
early post-emergence use as directed.
3. Will it reliably clear established perennial weeds?
Do not assume so. Its main role here is residual control of susceptible germinating annual weeds; identify
established weeds before selecting treatment.
4. Can one product rate be used on every crop?
No. Crop, weed, soil and placement requirements differ. Water volume alone does not establish a product
dose, harvest interval or safe tank recipe.
5. Can I mix Diurex with another product?
Only when both current labels permit the exact products, crop and application method. Do not assume that a
fertilizer, adjuvant or another pesticide can be added simply because it can be physically mixed.
